The first phase of Montreaux Developments’ mixed-use redevelopment of the former Maypole Margarine Works Factory in Southall has been given the green light by planners.
The reserved matters application, which will see 867 new homes delivered, of which 35% are affordable by habitable room, was unanimously approved by Ealing Council
Plans for the Margarine Works site, which once housed the largest margarine factory in the world, include a generous shared amenity offering for all residents, with three podium gardens, accessible roof terraces, a gym and leisure suits, residents’ lounge, co-working spaces, cinema room and games room.
A 180-bed hotel will also be built in the south west corner of the development in addition to nearly 800 sq m of flexible commercial space.
Félicie Krikler, director at Assael Architecture, which submitted the planning application, said: “We’re delighted to have been given the green light to deliver the first phase of our original vision for the former Margarine Works site. As an area undergoing significant change at present, accelerated by the opening of the Elizabeth Line, Margarine Works phase one will deliver much-needed new housing, employment opportunities and public green space to contribute to the wider regeneration of the Southall East area.”
Delivery is anticipated to commence later this year.
